Filthy one-percenter prepares to accept an astronomical $400,000.00 for one speech

Barack Obama learned it from watching you, Hillary!

Democrats, as we all know, loathe the so-called “one percent.” We all know their ranks are clogged with over payed movie-stars, “woke” CEO’s, and career politicians who, like Harry Reid, inexplicably manage to make millions in the public service arena, but that’s not the point. Those one-percenters are OK because they toe the left-wing line. Being wealthy is only a problem if you try to stand up to their agenda.

Occasionally, that plays out in interesting ways. During the 2016 election, the Bernie-loving socialists were thrilled when Sanders attacked Hillary Clinton’s outrageous Wall Street speaking fees. The issue came up, repeatedly, during the debates - and it was a crowd-pleaser every time.

It appears to me the Cantor Fitzgerald has more money than sense. If I were an investor they would never see any of my money - I hate waste, wherever it is found.

The people who hoped to buy influence from the Clintons still have lots of money.

400,000 for one short speech.

In context, one whole years salary at his former job.

Or, 20 years salary in a low level service industry job.

(hat tip Kenya Sunday Standard)

DID PRESIDENT OBAMA ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING FOR HIS HOMELAND?

<><> 2 billion US tax dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million US tax dollars to his tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> Total US Foreign Aid to Kenya (FY 2012): $749,236,440

<><> $418M arms sale to Kenya

-============================================

(FR Posted by RobinMasters)

A Kenyan lawmaker told the nation's Parliament last month (March 2010) that Barack Obama was born in Africa and is therefore "not even a native American."

During debate over the draft of a new Kenyan constitution, James Orengo, the country's minister of lands and a member of parliament for the Ugenya constituency, cited America's election of a Kenyan-born president as an example of what can be accomplished when diverse peoples unite:

"If America was living in a situation where they feared ethnicity and did not see itself as a multiparty state or nation," Orengo posited, "how could a young man born here in Kenya, who is not even a native American, become the president of America?"

Orengo held up the U.S. as a country no longer "living in the past," since Americans elected a Kenyan-born president without regard to "ethnic consideration and objectives."

Debate is then recorded in the Kenyan government's official March 25, 2010, hansard – a traditional name for printed transcripts of a parliamentary debate – as continuing with no other MPs mentioning or attempting to correct Orengo's comments about Obama. (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...

Did Obama shakedown Cantor-Fitzgerald for a donation to his foundation?

BACKSTORY House mother Valerie Jarrett recently said she and the Obamas are focused on fostering the next generation of leaders. “He’s really interested in finding the Barack Obama 2.0s all across the country. He’s very interested, through the Obama center, to promote civic engagement.”

TRANSLATION: Get ready for another Clintonesque money machine.The Chicago criminals gonna do the Clinton Crime Family Hustle. They have no intentions of working for a living. The goal is get-rich-quick ala the Clintons.


EXCERPTED-—In recent months, Clinton Foundation director, Donna Shalala, said foundation officials have offered advice for former President Obama and his wife, Michelle, on their own foundation, which will focus on national and international community building programs.

“They called and asked some questions,” Ms. Shalala said.

QUOTE SOURCE https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/us/hillary-bill-clinton-foundation.html


GET READY FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL MONEY-MAKING MACHINE -—The Obamas already have two Clintonesque get-rich-quick foundations (two that we know of)....the mission statements sounding suspiciously like the Clintons.

SOURCE http://www.barackobamafoundation.org/

President Obama said, “the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen. “ (TRANSLATION: Me and Michelle want the money pouring in faster than we can spend it.)

FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT (cue laugh machine): The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

Inform visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

PLEASE PASS THE BARF BAGS.

What’s your take on this, Sean? Surely you have an opinion.
